We are off to a Christening later on. Its the granddaughter of my friend Joyce - little Niamh Poppy :) I still haven't got a clue what I will be wearing (I'm writing this up on Saturday afternoon so I still have time to sort it and check me out getting ahead of meself with the post!!)

I'm off now to finish off some stuff that needs to leave here on Monday so I better crack on. Have the loveliest of Sundays and see you soon as soon.

I have a lil sneakie peekie for you today which features an image from the soon to be releasedLili of The Valley Vintage Boys collection. Have you picked your fave yet? I simply cannot choose from this collection because they are all so adorable.

Now if you cannot wait for the release, you can get these images with all the colouring done for you because they are in Art Pad 1 - Vintage Boys.

Check out the colours peeps - they are gorgeous :)

So ....

... here's me card.

I used Mans's Best Friend and I coloured it with Copics in these colours -

I just noticed that I must have knocked these pointy endy things on the main pic when I was doing the photos. They were straight when I'd finished the card, honest (I would tell you if they weren't - you know me!!).

But wonky or not, I likes 'em!!

Where would I be without my old friend Safmat :)

Have you noticed that I did a bit of paper pricking on this card? I've never done it before - you can probably tell that cos it isn't quite perfect but I'll do better next time.

Note to self ... must try harder :)

I thought I'd turn this dodgy angle pic round so that the other side than usual is nearest. Just for a change, like you do!!

Right I'm off to do some work. Have the best day me darlins and see you soon.

Well, I did a bit of Penny Blacking cos I love this image. And I have to admit that I quite like this card too cos I love black with string accent colours:)

I'll put the shopping list at the end and link all the pics for a change, and also because for some reason the stored link thing in my Livewriter isn't working. I keep getting an error message every time I try to add a link - has anybody else had this problem and if so, do you know how to get rid of it please pretty please.

The paper is from a Promises 8x8 paper pack. Peeps they are out of stock at the mo over at the shop BUT don't despair because they are due in very shortly (about 10 days or so) so you can get your mitts on them then.

Gorgeous aren't they!!!

And speaking of gorgeous, I've had my eye on one of these bad boy La La Land Heart Banner dies for ages but they are so tricky to get hold of but thanks to my sweet LOTV teamies Anne and Dena, we managed to get one, yayyyy.

And it is just as fab as I thought it would be. Thank you thank you THANK YOU sweet friends xxxxx

Right I'm off to see what the day has in store for me. Enjoy your day whatever you are doing and I'll see you back here tomoz for our weekly transatlantic trip to the jolly old US of A. But today my thoughts go out to our friends in Boston - I do hope that everyone is safe and well xxx. Isn't it just awful that we have to share the planet with people that can do a such a thing.

I do not have words to describe how I feel about these low lives.

Huggiest of hugs to all xxx

Before I get to the bits and bobs that I used, I am so pleased to say that this card and the one I did last week for the challenge have been featured on the Simon Says Stamp blog today. Steph has done a feature called Marvellous Magnolia Stamps - you can see it right here - and she asked me if I would like to do some cards for it.

Well did I ever - whoop whoop!!!

Thank you sweet Steph for asking me - I am so chuffed to see my work on the blog :)

Yes, this really is me. Not very pink I agree but maybe a little bit piggy xxx

I'm Dawny P.
I'm a freelance designer, craft tutor and demonstrator and I live in Chester with Richard, my partner of 15 years and our cat, Saffy. I'm mummsy to Nickie and Emma and Grandma to Kyla & Thea who are the light of my life.
I've always been a crafty girl and before making cards, I did pottery for many years and I had my own ceramics workshop.
I do have a proper job and I work full time but apart from demo work and classes, I also run a card club in Ellesmere Port which I started in October 2008.
As you can probably tell, life is pretty busy. And if that wasn't enough, we also breed birds of prey!!
